The KJV renders 8 different Hebrew and Greek words as “only”
What it means
properly, a unit, i.e. (adverb) unitedly
from H3161 (יָחַד);
How the KJV renders it
alike, at all, both, likewise, only, altogether, withal
Where that flattens a distinction
The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
“only”
“both”
“likewise”
“withal”
also renders tís (G5101)
Questions this word decides
- Does Colossians 2:16 abolish the Sabbath?
